Port St. Lucie, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Welcome to your healing journey! Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or lack of motivation? Do you wonder why you are not where you want to be in life or how to achieve your life goals? Or perhaps you feel unproductive, unhappy with your current relationships, or job and feel overwhelmed. I attended Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing psychotherapy for 20 years. I have experience practicing in Psychiatric Hospitals and outpatient settings. I empower clients to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety and grief.
I offer a therapeutic approach that combines evidenced-based protocols with advanced and effective holistic healing practices. Mind, body and spirit have a healing approach. I have found that, when combined, these two approaches strengthen and deepen the healing process, allowing for a more full and transformational experience. My specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Every person I encounter I strive to empower the client to discover their strengths to engage in a transformational healing process. I listen to clients' needs and goals. Once established we will work as a team to develop a treatment approach that aligns with your treatment goals.
If you are having difficulties with anxiety, depression, life stressors, or grief you have the strength to overcome these issues. I am dedicated to helping you regain your strengths and achieve the life goals you desire.

Nokomis, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hello, I am Viktoria.
Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own.
There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish.
Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

I have expertise in working with all ages and am trained and skilled in working with people with neuro-divergent symptoms and diagnoses, along with their families. I also enjoy helping people recover from trauma, anxiety/depression and life transitions.
I also adore working with individuals who aspire to reach deeper and engage in self-improvement and self-care. Let's get together soon so that we can evaluate and assess your needs and priorities. I love working with people who want to learn in our eager to not only heal, but also experience change, meaning a changed self. This is because it changed self develops the capacity to feel safe and sound inside themselves, and become ever more clear on how to desire to grow.

I hold a deep respect for each person's unique story. I am passionate about supporting people in finding greater connections with themselves and those around them, and in being more present in their daily lives. Together we can craft an approach to counseling that works for you.
I am a bilingual/bi-cultural therapist; able to do therapy in both English/Spanish. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues.
Therapy provides an opportunity to wonder about experiences, emotions, and desires that we may not otherwise have space to explore. This process can deepen our insight into the impact of personal history on our current behavioral and emotional patterns, allowing us a greater sense of self and choice in our lives and relationships.
In the course of psychotherapy, we will create a space of non-judgmental curiosity, including space for creativity, playfulness, and humor.
I help my patients develop and strengthen their ability to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges so that they can live a more meaningful, mindful, and enjoyable life.
I encourage my patients to work hard to grow and change, achieving the life they desire. I seek to develop a caring and supportive relationship with all my patients.
You are a unique human being. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Let's talk and see if I am the right fit to help you reach the goals you want for yourself.
Together we will work to deepen self-awareness, presence, and sense of possibility. I use she/her pronouns.
*** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***
